The Leopards will be the de-

that he
ity contest. Trouble is there’d be
no stadium a tenth large enough
to hold the fans . . . Well, that’ll
leave future generations some-
thing to argue about, which had
the stronger team in 1947.
FODDER . . . We read where
Greenville has sold almost two-
thirds of their box seats for the
coming Bic State league season,
and that Paris has made a good
start in the disposal of all box
seats there. The $64 question, one
which all local fans would like to
have answered, is what the heck
is Gainesville doing toward mak-
ing ready for next season? . . .
Ben Hogan is starting the new
year off right. He carded a 275
for 72 holes to win first, money in
the Los Angeles open . . . Sports
was heads up, aggressive play.”
LET’S TUNE IN ON Lloyd
Glaudi of the Item:
“The rugged Alabama line . . .
thoroughly outplayed the Long-
horn forwards throughout the
golden afternoon. A line coach
from one of the nation’s major
universities told me, ‘I’m certain
there is no question but what Ala-
bama’s line completely outplayed
the Texas line’.”
And Coach Drew of Alabama
was quoted as sayirg:
“Guard Ray Richeson of Ala-
bama was the outstanding player
on the field. I know Layne will
get most credit, but you can say
for me that Richeson, without a
doubt, was tops.”
Then he added:
“As for Gilmer, I’ll say he’s a
better back than Layne. Harry
wasn’t as efficient in the Sugar
bowl as Layne but in my book he
can turn in a better all-round ex-
hibition and is more consistent
than Layne. If you’ll recall Layne'
missed some of his targets at 15
yards.”
WE COULD GO ON quoting
the great alibiers, but what the
heck!
If Alabama’s line so roundly
outplayed Texas forwards, why
did Texas make more yardage on
the ground and through the air
than the Tide? And why was
Layne given great protection (ad-
mitted by even New Orleans
scribes) while Gilmer was badly
rushed? And how did a weak Tex-
as lineman manage to make one
of the ’Barna kickers eat the foot-
ball?
How could the Texas forwards
have been so roundly outplayed
when the Longhorns made 14 first
downs to 7 and ran 74 plays to
Alabama’s 45?
We’d like to be fair always in
our analysis of a ball game, re-
gardless who is playing, but if
you can see where Alabama was
.barely nosed out by a Texas team
that got all the breaks, you can
beat us?
Truth of the matter is, Bobby
for too long,- they figured.
If Stiteler doesn’t produce his
first year, there’s nothing to pre-
vent a severance of his contract
immediately.
The little guy is used to step-
ping into hot seats. He took over
at Corpus Christi high school
where a coach’s life has become
pretty short. His first year he
won the State schoolboy cham-
pionship.
He became head coach at Waco
high school when the fans were
crying out for a winner. He had
the team in the state play-off
four years, tying for the cham-
pionship in 1945.
Stiteler became assistant coach
at Rice institute in 1946. Rice was
co-champion of the Southwest
conference.
Last season he was at A&M as
backfield coach. The fans won-
dered why he would give up a
pretty secure job at Rice for a
quite different one at downtrod-
den A&M. But he saw a future—
a head coaching position. It came
quicker than .anybody figured—
probably quicker than had Stit-
eler.
Stiteler always has been a pop-
ular fellow. He was a star track
man and a football letterman at
A&M after having won 18 letters
at Smithville high school—three
in football, three in basketball,
four in track, four in baseball and
four in tennis.
He entered A&M in 1927 and
graduated in the spring of 1931
as an honor student. He received
his masters degree from the Uni-
versity of Texas in 1939.
The sports writers all like
Harry because he gives them the
facts. None of this moaning stuff;
if he thinks he will'win, he’ll say
so.

Wolverines smash Southern Cal-
ifornia in the Rose bowl, 49-0.
The new ballot does not super-
sede the Associated Press’ regu-
lar final season rating of college
football teams, released last Dec.
8, which named Notre Dame the
mythical national champion with
Michigan the runnerup.
The 146 writers who cast bal-
lots in that one gave the Irish
1,410 points to 1,289 for the Wol-
verines and awarded Notre Dame
107 first place votes, with Mich-
igan getting only 25 and the other
No. 1 tags going elsewhere.
The Irish, who led the nation’s
list through seven of the ten
weeks of the campaign, won in
the regular poll after a decisive
38-7 triumph over the same
Southern California Troians.
Many of the participants in the
latest roll-call acknowledged
their opinions were swayed large-
ly by comparative scores which
in two other instances swung the
pendulum toward Fritz Crisler’s
men of Michigan.
Against the other two common
opponents, the teams fared this
way: Michigan walloped Pitt, 69
to 0, while Notre Dame did the
job a little more mercifully, 40
to 6. The Wolverines rolled over
Northwestern, 49 to 21, while the
Irish, who also had a perfect sea-
son, trounced the Wildcats 26-19.
Notre Dame supporters argued
comparative scores should be no
gauge because the Irish were in-
clined to “pull their punches.”
Michigan drew its heaviest
backing from the mid-west — the
stamping grounds of the Big Nine
—and even Notre Dame’s home
state, Indiana, voted even on the
issue, eight to eight.
The Wolverines received 29
votes within their home state.
The west coast, which saw the
two powerhouses against the Tro-
jans, was about equally divided
in sentiment with California
splitting its vote, ten to ten.
There was little to choose be-
tween the teams in the east bal-
loting. New York went for Mich-
igan, 12 to 8, but Pennsylvania
voted even, ll'to 11.
The South west overwhelming-
ly for the Irish. Georgia backed
Notre Dame eight to two, and
Frank Leahy’s forces found al-
most equally good support in
Tennessee, Marvland, Alabama,
and Mississippi. But Texas joined
the Michigan bandwagon, 13 to
3.

Ben Hogan Takes
Los Angeles Open
For Third Time
By BOB MYERS
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 6 (P) —
Ben Hogan left town today, hav-
ing accomplished the following
feats in the game of golf:
Won the $10,000 Los Angeles
Open for the third time;
Established a new record for
the tournament at the Riviera
Country club with a 72-hole score
of 275;
Turned back the initial threat
of 1948 of South African Bobby
Locke and the rest of the foreign
invaders;
Featured an array of profes-
sionals and amateurs who at-
tracted a record turn of more
than 40,000 during the four days
of the 22nd annual Los Angeles
fixture.
He raked the par-71 Riviera
course with four successive sub
par rounds — 68-70-70-67 — and
staved off a challenge by former
National Open King Lloyd Man-
grum in a round played in a fog
so thick the ball disappeared 50
yards after it was struck. Man-
grum had a 279.
Hogan collected $2,000 for first
place, Mangrum $1,400 for second,
and Ellsworth Vines, the one time
king of the amateur and pro ten-
nis worlds, finished third for
$1,000.
Tied one shot back were Sam
Snead, who scrambled into the
running with a 67, and Ed Furgol
of Pontiac, Mich., who had a 73.
Lagging behind was the pre-
tournament co-favorite with Ho-
gan, Bobby Locke, who finished
with an embarrassing 76 for 287
and a $400 consolation prize.
Tied’ with Locke, one stroke
back of Johnny Palmer of Badin,
N. C., and Dutch Harrison of Lit-
tle Rock, were Johnny Bulla and
Toney Penna.
Low amateur honors fell to
Frank Stranahan of Toledo, O.,
whose 70 put him in at 289, two
strokes in front of Douglas Ford
of Elmsford, N. Y., and three to
the good over Bud Ward of Spo-
kane, Wash.
